The service of the Acton Memorial Library has gone on very smoothly the past year, and there is but little of interest to mention.


Among the accessions of importance is The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, thirteen volumes. The next volume due this year will contain a biographical sketch of Mr. William A. Wilde, also a lifelike portrait.


About the same time the Genealogy of the Everett. Hosmer (of Acton) and Barney families was received from Mr. George Murray Barney of Springfield. Mass. This book, by reason of the richness of its illustrations, binding. and general makeup, is well worthy of an examination.


Another book of interest is a volume sent by the state, giving the names of all soldiers who enlisted in defence of the country in the war with England in 1812-1815.


This is indexed very crudely, giving names only of men, not of localities, or organizations, and the list would benefit


86


most people but little, yet we think the matter of sufficient interest to copy the names of the Acton Company, whose term of service was in the last half of 1814, just one hundred years ago.


Capt. S. Jones' Company, Lieut. Col. J. Valentine's Regiment.


From Sept. 10 to Oct. 30, 1814. Raised at Acton and vicinity.

The reader will observe that Captain Jones' Company was recruited from Acton and vicinity. The two oldest members of the Board of Trustees, on looking over the list, find that thirty-eight of the forty-one men were from Acton.


Those familiar with the genealogy of the old families in this town will recognize that the ancestors of some of the men took part in the War of the Revolution, and also that some of their descendants in the war for the Union-the making and saving of the Nation.

Some of these men in after years were not only "fathers of the town," but pillars of the church as well.


The men of Acton, from the first organization of the town, have been distinguished for their valor, promptness, and patriotism, in time of danger, and we think it well to gather the fragments of unwritten history, that the record of these services may not be lost.


I have hoped that some permanent memorial might be erected to the memory of Captain Gershom Davis, who raised a company in Acton and vicinity in 1745, to take part in the capture of the fortress of Louisburg.


At the age of sixty years Captain Davis, in making his will says : "Being Providentially called to go into the Public Service of my Country"-He died in that service and his will was probated a few months later.


I cannot close this somewhat desultory report without expressing an earnest wish that, under no possible conditions will any young men from Acton be called upon to go to Mexico, to risk their lives in a contest with a half civilized country, in obtaining territory and population that we do not need, and would only bring us heavy responsibilities.


The trustees recommend the usual appropriations.


Very respectfully, LUTHER CONANT,


For the Trustees.
